I would get the .308, since it will play better in the wind way down range. Both should be had by every little boy, but for starters, I' d say the bigger bore, then once you get the handle on things, get the smaller one so that you know already what is what and what to do to your rifle to put ten of those little bullets under a dime. That' s just me though, I have both, and got them that way, neither of them are true benchrest rifles, but both have had quite a bit of work, and I' m glad I figured things out with a rifle I don' t mind taking after deer as well.

BTW, this is my 500th post, today, I am a man.[&:]
